About Bluetooth

Bluetooth technology is designed to establish a wireless connection between your BlackBerry smartphone and a Bluetooth enabled device, such as a hands-free car kit or a wireless headset.

Before you can connect your BlackBerry
smartphone to a Bluetooth
enabled device, you must first turn on Bluetooth
technology on both devices and then pair the devices. Pairing establishes a relationship between the devices and usually needs to be done only once.

After you pair the devices, you can connect the devices when the Bluetooth
enabled device is within range of your BlackBerry
smartphone (a typical range is approximately 10 meters). For best results, keep your BlackBerry
smartphone within direct line of sight of the Bluetooth enabled device. For example, if your BlackBerry
smartphone is on the right side of your body,
wear a Bluetooth
enabled headset in your right ear.

When you turn on Bluetooth technology or when you
connect your BlackBerry smartphone to another Bluetooth enabled device, Bluetooth status indicators appear
at the top of the home screen.
